lol. Again, I called this a while back. He has nowhere to play right now on our team. I just hope if we trade him its as part of a package for an ace because his value would go up to sweeten a deal for an ace pitcher compared to trading him straight up for some other player. I think most here would have to agree if Dee helped net us an ace, that would be worthwhile. Just dont trade him for nothing.

We're really gonna trade Dee Gordon our top prospect 2 years ago, because Luis Cruz had a good 2 months? Come on people, let's get real, Dee will be starting if not next year at some point the year after I'm 100%

agreed its stupid IMO!

if he doesnt get traded i hope that would be the case but i guess management wants hanley at SS

dont get me wrong i LOVE hanley but he doesnt belong anywhere near SS

ppl **** on dee's errors but u can blame that on inexperience and him being a rookie, but whats hanley's excuse? he doesnt have any, he's just not a very good fielder.

Well I can see some are obviously irritated at this news, but if he helps us net a legit ace, I am all for it. I just dont see him as having a lot of value right now considering the season he had last year if we try to trade him straight up for someone else.

im cool with trading him for an ace, but which ones are actually available?

Defensively Dee was worse than Hanley and in fact was the worst SS defensively in the NL. I know he is young but his defense will only improve so much. I think even when he hits his peak years, he wont be dramatically better than Hanley at SS. Price is available as the Rays are money lagging right now and his arbitration is due to kick in next season I believe where he is going to start to get paid bigger salaries so it might be worth it to kick around trying to include Dee in a package deal for an ace. The LA times article a couple days ago said, we are in the market for an ace or maybe even two both through free agency and the trade market so I will bet we are going to hear more about big deals being kicked around for various aces. Who knows honestly but ive always thought Gordon would be gone at some point this offseason after Cruz basically rapped him in every stat next to stolen bases. Say what you will about Cruz's likely regression but the dude earned himself the starting job next season unless we sign a better 3rd baseman. I still think Cruz will hit well for us. He really looked like he found his swing last season. Who knows though. Thats why we watch baseball.
